Since Xcode 15 beta 5, making a class with the @Observable macro no longer requires all properties to have an initialization value, as seen in the video. Just put an init that collects the properties and everything works correctly.
@Observable
final class Score: Identifiable {
let id: Int
var title: String
var composer: String
var year: Int
var length: Int
var cover: String
var tracks: [String]
init(id: Int, title: String, composer: String, year: Int, length: Int, cover: String, tracks: [String]) {
self.id = id
self.title = title
self.composer = composer
self.year = year
self.length = length
self.cover = cover
self.tracks = tracks
}
}
But there is a problem: the @Observable macro makes each property to integrate the @ObservationTracked macro that seems not to conform the types to Equatable, and in addition, to Hashable.
Obviously, being a feature of each property, it is not useful to conform the class in a forced way with the static func == or with the hash(into:Hasher) function that conforms both protocols.
That any class we want to be @Observable does not conform to Hashable, prevents any instance with the new pattern to be usable within a NavigationStack using the data driven navigation bindings and the navigationDestination(for:) modifier.
I understand that no one has found a solution to this. If you have found it it would be great if you could share it but mainly I am making this post to invoke the mighty developers at Apple to fix this bug. Thank you very much.
P.S. - I also posted a Feedback (FB12535713), but no one replies. At least that I see.

I have created an actor for the ModelContainer, in order to perform a data load when starting the app in the background. For this I have conformed to the ModelActor protocol and created the necessary elements, even preparing for test data.
Then I create a function of type async throws to perform the database loading processes and everything works fine, in that the data is loaded and when loaded it is displayed reactively.
actor Container: ModelActor {
nonisolated let modelContainer: ModelContainer
nonisolated let modelExecutor: ModelExecutor
static let modelContainer: ModelContainer = {
do {
return try ModelContainer(for: Empleados.self)
} catch {
fatalError()
}
}()
let context: ModelContext
init(container: ModelContainer = Container.modelContainer) {
self.modelContainer = container
let context = ModelContext(modelContainer)
self.modelExecutor = DefaultSerialModelExecutor(modelContext: context)
self.context = context
Task {
do {
try await loadData()
} catch {
print("Error en la carga \(error)")
}
}
}
}
The problem is that, in spite of doing the load inside a Task and that there is no problem, when starting the app it stops responding the UI while loading to the user interactions. Which gives me to understand that actually the task that should be in a background thread is running somehow over the MainActor.
As I have my own API that will provide the information to my app and refresh it at each startup or even send them in Batch when the internet connection is lost and comes back, I don't want the user to be continuously noticing that the app stops because it is performing a heavy process that is not really running in the background.
Tested and compiled on Xcode 15 beta 7.
I made a Feedback for this: FB13038621.
